The long, thin capstone is supported by two large and matched portal stones, two metres high and though the capstone has slipped off the backstone it is kept in place by the eastern sidestone which itself has fallen into the chamber. The western sidestone is still in situ.

The tomb is now quite difficult to access due to many tied gates, barbed wire and very boggy ground underfoot. It is also concealed from view by surrounding gorse which has grown almost as high as the portal tomb itself.

The front and east side of the tomb is lit by the early morning sun, about an hour after sunrise. This is the best time to visit as you can take in the breathtaking views and the tomb itself by climbing higher up the slope in front of it.

A far-off view from acroos the fields to the east, a stream runs between this spot and the tomb, under the thick covering of trees in the foreground. Even though it is signposted from the lane here, actually approaching the dolmen from this direction is impossible without high waterproof boots.
